My experience with angled scopes is that they work perfectly well from a tripod. However, from a monopod or from a car window a straight one was much more comfortable in my hands as an angled one. When you are a digiscoper a straight one is much easier to aim than an angled one.
I had a long conversation last year with a professional wildlife photographer, who bought (advice from the shop) an angled scope and he regretted it every day when he wanted to use his scope for photographic purposes.
So angled or straight is very much dependent on the most favored application of your scope in my opinion.
